Nutritionist warned about the dangers of warming drinks in winter

Nutritionist Olga Panova warned that her favorite invigorating drinks in the cold season can imperceptibly harm the body.

In an interview with Radio 1 on Wednesday, November 26, she noted that coffee contributes to dehydration of the body and after it it is advisable to drink a glass of water to restore balance. According to her, many people consider green tea to be a good alternative, but you should be careful with it.

She stressed that during the cold season it is important to quench thirst with ordinary water so as not to disrupt the body's work, and added that monitoring the drinking regime during the heating period is the key to health and protection from viruses.
